Default 09 Ram - Rear Tailight Fuse?

My 09 Ram has a right rear tailight out message, but it still works, flashes rapidily, does that mean its about to go out, and what fuse it is?

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't be a fuse if the tail light is actualling flashing. Fast flash usually indicates either a burnt out bulb or that someone stuck a cheap LED bulb in the tail light. Could also just be a bad flasher.

Try swapping the light with the left one and see if the failure follows it. That will tell you if it's the bulb.
